Title: Bigger than I thought...

The BBC tells me that the escape shaft the trapped miners will have to get through is "only 70cm in diameter - about the size of a bicycle wheel" ::)

Wot's that as a fraction of a football pitch and why didn't they stick with a double decker bus or part thereof? Both good old fashioned measurements WE understand.

Wouldn't it have been better to keep them in the dark ( ;)) concerning how long it's going to take to get them out? "Any minute now" has got to better than "we'll see you at Christmas"
